Reaching from goofy indie scrappers to serious indie scrappers, Parquet Courts use the instantly appealing Human Performance to expand their laconic punk-plus-classic-rock shtick into a maturing songwriting direction. Threaded together by a charming post-Pavement insouciance, Andrew Savage and Austin Brown’s tunes can just as quickly turn guitar jammy (“One Man, No City”), go anthemic and add woodwinds (“Human Performance”) or take a turn toward Elvis Costello-like truth attack love songs (“Berlin Got Blurry”). One of the few bands to seemingly borrow from ‘90s Beck (“Captive of the Sun”), Parquet Courts have veered from direction to direction, but Human Performance revels in finding a total picture of the quartet, turning out songs that feel effortless, until one arrives at “It’s Gonna Happen,” at the end of the album, a celestial slow dance whose glowing new possibilities might make one think twice about the tossed-offness of Brown and Savage’s garage-fuzz wit. It’s all fantastic fun, often with remarkably adaptable, hulking garage backbeat by Max Savage, and the kind of fun that doesn’t fully come into bloom until some point later, when certain bits have stuck around and started to soundtrack real-life moments when music isn’t playing.
